[QUOTE="Quackrstackr, post: 101899, member: 437"] Homeowners around here only covers lightning strikes, not wind damage.. for whatever reason. Loggerhead, Bradford Pears are the debil. The have short main trunks with huge canopies. Since they are so top heavy with extremely tall limbs, they are very suceptable to wind and ice damage. The formation of the limbs where they attach to the trunk makes them easy to split, on top of that. I would never plant one of my own accord but these two and another in my front yard were already here when I bought the house. They are beatiful trees but if you can get 10 years out of one (about when they mature) without it being destroyed, you are really lucky and it's only a matter of time until it happens. [/QUOTE]
